[b]U.S. officials worried about Chinese control of American drug supply[/b]

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/u-s-off...-american-drug-supply-n1052376

Antibiotics, which turn life-threatening infections into minor nuisances, are considered the single biggest advance in modern medicine.

[b]But imagine if the supply of antibiotics to the United States was suddenly cut off. [/b]

American national security officials are worrying about that scenario as they come to grips with this little understood fact: The vast majority of key ingredients for drugs that many Americans rely on are manufactured abroad, mostly in China.

The last article in this list is from conservative sources only, and someone in one of these friends found the original Chinese article and this is not what it said. [/quote]

Yes, here's that point again about what the Xinhua article really said:

[quote]Regarding the "sea of coronavirus" Xinhua article, I decided to look for myself. The only newssites covering it other than Fox News were conservative media basically all quoting Fox News. I finally found the actual article here:

http://xinhuanet.com/2020-03/04/c_1125660473.htm

After the author's (a blogger?) comments suggesting restricting supplies to the US out of anger over a potential new travel ban (as far as I can tell; I cannot read Mandarin, so I am relying on a friend's translation and Chrome), the author said this (again, machine translation):

However, there is a great love in the world. The Chinese people and the Chinese government have never done so. They have not insulted the United States, nor have they banned the export of masks and medicines to the United States. As China ’s new crown pneumonia epidemic is gradually controlled, China ’s ability to export masks and medicines Will be greatly enhanced, and the United States is one of the demand side. [/quote]

People can even plug the article into Chrome translate for themselves.
